Our Informatics Team nurses – Janet Fellini and Nancy Day – have been with St. Mary’s for more than five years and have worked tirelessly to implement the Patient Touch Application using the Patient Safe Solution.
This platform is being used by all of our nursing and ancillary departments as a means of communicating by either text or phone. All the alarms or alerts from our patient monitoring systems and lab results are transmitted to a shared iPhone device. Janet and Nancy partnered with the St. Mary’s MIS Department to ensure the program was successfully implemented to more than 500 in-patient employees at St. Mary’s.
